We often think about boundaries in terms of what to say no to. But there’s another way to frame it.

Have you heard of the "30-minute ick factor"?

If you want to start a new healthy habit, how often should you commit to doing it? How about daily-ish?

As you know, I like learning about and sharing different productivity and wellbeing strategies, but I never assume they’ll work for everyone.

Recently, I delivered a course for leaders and managers on having better feedback conversations.

We often underestimate how long things take and overestimate how much we can get done in one day.

Rest is often seen as something we take for ourselves. But have you ever noticed the effect it has on others?

I’ve been thinking about Oliver Burkeman’s advice for avoiding information overload: treat your "to read" pile like a river rather than a bucket.

Most of us wait until we’re overwhelmed at work before we say no.

By then, it’s too late.

In Stoicism, "suffering twice" refers to the suffering we cause ourselves by worrying about things that might never happen.

“Imposter syndrome is a paradox: others believe in you, you don’t believe in yourself, yet you believe yourself instead of them.” — Adam Grant.

I came across some new (to me) terminology in an article from Cal Newport’s blog that I think is useful: additive and extractive technology.

Radical Acceptance, in its simplest form, can be expressed as follows: Pain + Resistance = Suffering.

Does this working week sound familiar?

Somewhere along the way, many of us picked up the idea that we should finish what we start. It's what adults do. But…

There’s no such thing as time management.

Which is awkward, because I write about time management a lot.

Just because there’s a gap in your calendar doesn’t mean it’s up for grabs.

Your working (short-term) memory has a limited capacity—research suggests it can hold between 3 and 8 items. Unsurprisingly, when we try to cram in too much (tasks, reminders, ideas, information), we feel overwhelmed.

I love deadlines. To the point that I sometimes fake them.

If you want to become an expert at something, hard work matters. Research suggests that it takes around 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become an expert in a particular field. We tend to focus on that part: the work. But there’s another essential piece we often overlook: deliberate rest.
